Quantum Photonics Engineering with Interacting Photons
Interdisciplinary Areas: | Micro-, Nano-, and Quantum Engineering |

Project Description
Within the scope of this theoretical quantum optics project we are going to investigating the
dynamics and many-body behavior arising in an ensemble of interacting photons. In particular, we would like to explore the phase diagram of a photonic quantum matter in the presence of long and non-local interactions, with the aim of finding novel non-classical, entangled states of light that will be useful for quantum information, metrology, single-shot detection, and sensing.
Start Date
January 2021
Postdoc Qualifications
The potential candidate is expected to have a PhD in EE or Physics and familiar with quantum optics and/or condensed matter physics.
